BN Sports- Importfan.com used to sell them- I dont think they do anymore. Steve Ganz might be able to get it.

Wise Sports- Ask reggiek, as he was able to get the older body style lip imported

Also, contact robert (aka {-.-} ) and see if he can get something- he has been known to be able to source parts

Interesting... What were the stories? There are alot of VIPcars running wald lips, and I find it odd that they would run something that didn't fit well, since there are so many options for them...

yeah always heard good things until someone actually posted here about it not fitting right.

oddly enough my friend has an amg e55 with a walds kit and it looks CLEAN and fits PERFECTLY (jdm crap on a high end euro ) but yeah looks great.

I have done a few searches as I stated in my 1st post, the most recent one on front lips was 2 months ago and it was all about 92-96 lips. The others were from years back, and in that time I would figure more companys could have produced/carry some and maybe the prices would come down. Anyone have any prices, pictures, and/or websites?

just saw your sig...

you owned a grand national? isn't that the twin turbo 700hp buick?

as for lips...there aren't many choices. there is wise, stock, and wald.

but there are body kits you can get the look pretty close to stock with lips such as the AC kit.

or just get body kits that are lower to the ground if that's what you want such as the vertex kit.

I just sold my GN last month for a price I couldn't turn down and bought the SC as my next project, they come with "245hp and 330TQ" from the factory say's GM, but those numbers were what most people saw to the wheels because GM didn't want to make there sports car (vette) look like ****. They came with a 3.8L V-6 single turbo from the factory but there are many 1000-2000HP single and twin turbo GN's out there, but with just "BPU", they make over 400WHP an 500WTQ. I had alum. heads w/ 3200 stall and a T78 with alcohol inj. that I drove on the streets making 592 WHP and 651 WTQ with reasonably low boost (22psi).
Back on subject, is there any websites where I can see pics and purchase these lips?

FYI - Wald is a full front bumper replacement, they do not carry a lip.
